Pro Tip: Why homemade stocks and broths beat store-bought alternatives every time. Detailed Points: 1. Stocks Made by simmering animal bones to extract gelatin, resulting in a rich, thick consistency ideal for sauces and braises. Types include light stock (raw bones), dark stock (roasted bones), and fumet (fish-based with wine). Simmer for 6+ hours, skim impurities, and use in recipes requiring depth and body. 2. Broths Simmered with meat, fat, and bones for 2-4 hours, producing a lighter, more versatile liquid. Historically tied to "stone soup" traditions; perfect for soups like chicken noodle. Use leftover meat in other dishes; refrigerate or freeze for later use. 3. Consommés Clarified stock or broth made crystal clear using a raft of egg whites, meat, and mirepoix. Simmer gently, ladle liquid through the raft, and use for refined dishes like appetizers or aspics. Known for its clear appearance and intense flavor, often credited to French culinary history.
